Testimonials

Amy Case, Managing Director, Case Strategy, LLC

Peter and I collaborated closely on a merger several years ago. His spirit of inclusion and fairness, advanced by his proficient abilities, made the endeavor a success. I worked with Peter during the integration and cultural alignment and later served on the board of the merged entity. Throughout, Peter built the trust essential to the merger’s effectiveness. He managed through points of conflict, keeping the committees’ focus on enhancing community well-being. He is excellent at this work and, importantly, is generous in sharing his know-how with colleagues and volunteers to elevate enterprise capability.

Milton J. Little, Jr., President and CEO, United Way of Greater Atlanta

“Peter and Kevin helped my organization merge with another United Way and also turn around seven straight years of revenue decline in the merged community.”

Kevin and Peter are a great resource for any organization. They are strategic leaders who are also very effective in tactical execution. Peter and Kevin helped my organization merge with another United Way and also turn around seven straight years of revenue decline in the merged community. They are both strong relationship builders who believe in developing deep and mutually beneficial partnerships. I highly recommend them.

David Wheeler, Director, Strategy & Operations, Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute (RGHI)

“Peter was terrific in helping me to think through the variety of ways the new nonprofit could be organized and structured for optimum effectiveness while keeping true to its mission and goals.”

I recently took a position to lead and form a global hygiene foundation. Many of the issues that I had to overcome in structuring the governance were complicated and needed to be both transparent and free of apparent conflicts. Ultimately, utilizing many of Peter’s suggestions, we are off to a great start, and I plan to re-engage him when we begin focusing on fundraising. I recommend him for both his depth of nonprofit knowledge and his ability to partner effectively.

Kathleen Gagne, Executive Director, Mechanics Hall

Peter has been a great help to me. We worked together on a year-round fundraising plan for Mechanics Hall, including all aspects of the giving cycle. He is so comfortable to work with and has a deep understanding of fundraising. He is also helping us on a capital campaign and is guiding us as we prepare to do a feasibility study. His support has been outstanding.

Joy Cortina, Founder and Executive Director, Life of Joy Foundation

I sincerely appreciate the time and counsel that Peter has provided the Life of Joy Foundation. He has provided great insight into our giving levels, sponsorships, and event fundraising activities. He has also provided valuable feedback on our general fundraising strategy and kept us from going down several rabbit holes. As a newly formed nonprofit, we have greatly benefited from his experience and broadband perspective. He has been a true delight to work with!

Conrad Ruiz, Advisor | Sigma Alpha Epsilon

I worked with Peter as he facilitated our fraternal organization through a mission/vision workshop and retreat. Peter assisted us in creating our strategic goals and a tactical plan to achieve them. He has a great way of encouraging everyone to participate and for all of us to “own” the goals and plans as we created them. Six months later, Peter facilitated a second status session. This session was also very helpful, as it narrowed our focus on our responsibilities and commitments. Peter is a great professional to work with. I strongly recommend him.
